boy meets girl: the narrative on "nice"

she said: we kiss, we drink red wine, we kiss and then we kiss some more

he said: and i like your kissing, it's nice

my standard 3 teacher, mrs leon, always objected to the use of the adjective "nice". from a very early age we are taught to use more colorful language to describe the feeling of niceness, in that lesson we are perhaps unwittingly un-taught to see and appreciate things we enjoy, merely because they are nice. there has to be more, they say. sad. i think "nice" is a good starting point, long live "nice", its so underrated.
